LOL! Forget about only one fighting division being wiped out weighing heavy on Commanders…..how about all of Britain being wiped out? Russia has fighter jets and subs which could totally decimate Britain in under five minutes. No Russian boots on the ground and no shots fired.

Russia has more persons serving in the military than even the USA…..just think how many more serve in the US Military than serve in Britain.

Maybe those British Army think tanks better think again with some real information on Russia’s capabilities!
